Providing Test Bench Conforming to Standard Specifications
ME7873A is the auto testing system for the Tx/Rx/
Performance characteristic of W-CDMA mobile terminals
conforming to 3GPP standards. This system enables to perform measurement conforming to Clause5 (Transmitter test),
6 (Reception test), 7 (Performance test) in 3GPP TS 34.121
standards.
The dedicated software runs on Windows2000 and provides
easy management of measurement parameters during tests
and test result data.
PC with installed Windows® 2000 is used as system controller.
Furthermore, various tests are achieved while communicating (loop-back mode) with W-CDMA mobile terminals to be
tested. Also, power consumption tests and temperature tests
of W-CDMA mobile terminals are realized using DC power
supply and temperature∗1 chamber.
In summary, ME7873A is used for RF test use in the process
ranging from the development to the final performance evaluation test of W-CDMA mobile terminals.
• Extension of measured units
Max. 4 units of mobile terminals can be measured continuously with ME7417B-02 4 Antenna Connection Option∗2.
∗2: Only one unit in standard configuration.
• Auto measurement of correction value
The test system that is configured various equipments
requires the frequency characteristic compensation of
input/output level. Restoration with the substitution for configuration unit and periodical maintenance such as the
update of correction value can be performed in user’s site
with the dedicated Correction Kit Option.
∗1: DC power supply and temperature chamber are needed for power consumption tests and temperature tests separately.
For detailed information on DC power supply and temperature chamber,
please contact your Anritsu sales representative)

Understandable Operation Screen with Windows and Help Guide
• Main Screen considering Visual Confirmability and
• Measured Data Administrative Function
Operability
Operation on main screen is done with tool bar on upper
part of the screen. The tool bar is composed of icons considering understandable operation detail. Test sequence
items are displayed in the middle and on the left half of the
screen, varied detailed information on the right half, and test
results at the bottom, all in real time during the test. Thus all
necessary information in testing can be confirmed on main
screen.
Measured results acquired from this test unit can be displayed on browser screen and printed out. Various sorts of
information such as test starting time, inputted to Header part
of this measurement report, can all be administrated as a file.
Test Result Example
• Help Guide
Software operation is supported by help guide. Also
Japanese or English Help can be selected in installation.
Main Screen
• Free Test Method
Test items can be selected with arbitrary frequency channel
for each test. Moreover, A variety of tests can be freely
specified for customer’s needs such batch auto measurement of all test items, manual selection measurement for
selected items only, and step measurement for each item.
• Abundant Parameter Setup
Parameter such as Spec. and Average can be specified for
each test item. Testing can be performed under optimized
conditions according to the model of device under test and
test purpose.
